Background/purpose: The circadian clock governs the expression of genes related to immunity and DNA repair. We investigated whether the time of day of radiotherapy and/or systemic therapy infusions (chemotherapy or anti-PD-L1) are associated with disease control and survival in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC).
Materials/methods: 178 consecutive patients with inoperable LA-NSCLC who received definitive chemoradiotherapy followed by durvalumab between 5/2017-8/2022 were reviewed.
Phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) deficiency are major limiting factors for plant productivity worldwide. White lupin ( L.) has become a model plant for understanding plant adaptations to P and Fe deficiency, because of its ability to form cluster roots, bottle-brush-like root structures play an important role in the uptake of P and Fe from soil.

Methods: We systematically evaluated studies. Literature searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Google Scholar, clinical trial registries, and major health and immunisation conferences.
Background: Data on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) for invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) survivors, particularly among adolescents and young adults (AYAs), are limited. This study aimed to investigate the in-depth experiences and impacts of IMD on AYAs.
Methods: Participants were recruited from two Australian states, Victoria and South Australia.
